House.
A HOTEL WITH A HISTORY
Sudden Death Of Henry Schuett--- Mrs.
Annie Tracy Also Passes
Away.

A. X. Doe has purchased of ElmOre
Lowell, as guardian of Albert Lowell,
the property known as the Sawyer
house, and the sale has been confirmed
by the probate court. This hotel has
quite history. TWAS built as far back
as 1851 by Henry Sawyer, from whom it
derives its name, who was at the time
one of the enterprsing, progressive
citizens of saltwater, but 1T seems that
before he had an opportunity to open
the .hOstelry to the public, financial
troubles came upon him, and the prop
erty was purchased by Isaac Staples
and conducted by him for one year as Il
first-class hotel. He disposed OF the
property nearly twenty years ago to
Albert Lowell, who has owned it since,
and up to a few years ago has managed
the place, but health failing MIR. Loweifs
property was controlled by his son,
E more, as guardian, and upon the
young man has rested the entire man
agement. Mr. Doe, the present owner,
will not personally manage the business,
but will lease it as soon as possible.
Until lessee can be found Gilmore
Lowell will conduct the house as of
y0re, and it is understood that the pres
ent corps of help will be maintained.
NJ; Lowell will remain i'll Saltwater.

morning. His wife had arisen to pre-
pare the morning meal. and a few min
utes before it was ready went TO call
him. When spoken to be answered
"All right" and then, as his wife
thought. was about to arise. Breakfast
was ready and still he did Not appear,
and she proceeded to the bed room,
took him by the arm and tried to arouse
him. but to no avail. Letting go his
arm ii fell heavily Oy his side. and then
in moment the awful truth flashed
upon her. and turning away from the
bedside she cried in alarm, MY God, he
is dead" Heart trouble was the imme-
diate cause of his death. The coroner
was notified, bat an inquest was not
deemed necessary. lie will probably be
buried tomorrow.
+ Tomorrow the ladies of the EpiscO-
pal church viii hold a sale of fancy
articles during the day at the residence
of Mrs. NJ Torinus. The articles
offered will be suitable for Christmas
